"Every pilot needs his wing" . This is the philosophy with which GRIF develops its design.
The CRX was born in 2001 as advanced prototype, after the initial testings has been submitted to a pilot of the caliber of Marco Cianfanelli, Italian champion, with the CRX Marco has conquered the Italian championship 2001 developed him to Valdera.
In the following periods, the experiences accumulated with the prototype, have partially been transferred to the production, from this wing they derive the evolution of the CRS appeared on the market from the January 2002 and fruit of various tests in flight effected by the Italian magazines of the sector.
Continuing in those that were our projects, the hauls has continued his evolutions, in the summer of 2003 has been from me employed for testing in flight one version
of the motor Smart realized by Leonardo Scardi , today the CRX-feline ones is ready to be introduced in production, the it slightly hauls different from the initial prototype, it has suffered updatings both to level of profiles and to level of loom.
The performances are thrilling and, faithful to our principles we hold proper for advanced pilots with an excellent it persuades technique, they will be able to appreciate all the performances that the CRX can offer.
From effected tests using the hauls with various models of trike, they have emerged some affinities thrilling with some models, while with others we have not remained as many satisfied. We have always sustained that a good deltamotore results from a balanced match between wing and trike, for the CRX - Feline, seen the elevated performances, this principle is worth in absolute.

     


The aspects that countersign the CRX from the rest of our production, are verifiable both on the cut of the sail, and on the new double surface, to which the 7 battens of lower sail for wing guarantee an optimal profile both to tall that to low speeds. The total surface is of 12.4 mqs but the completely different cut of the edge of exit in comparison to the CRS, they make the completely different CRX in all the phases of flight, elevated efficiency and elevated middle (broadly personalizzabile through our exclusive system of hookup wing_trike) speed united to an enviable least speed of manoeuvre, they make it only.
The frame derives in its structure from that of the CRS, it has shorter keel and endowed with series of all the reinforcements that is climbed on on the versions increased of our wings. It is made with tubes of AVIONAL 2017, the sail's battens of ERGAL 7075 , all the plates and the mechanical parts are made of AVIONAL 2024 , ALLUMINIUM 3571 and STAINLESS STEEL , according to their use.
All the pieces were designed for mechanical work, but even providing for aesthetical shape, the pieces of the driving triangle are an example , which join and have the same tube's wing contour.

   
    They are made by the best workshops with numerical control machine-tools. We use POLYANT'S products to make the sail, the leading-edge is made of TRYLAM or PENTEX , but for the extrados and double surface we use DACRON, reinforced where there are the biggest efforts. It means a longest life for our wings and some comfortable driving characteristics.
This production's organization allows us to obtain high aesthetical and mechanical quality, maintaining low cost both for wings and spare-parts .
